Umoe BioEnergy remains focused on alternative sources such as biofuel, produced from sugarcane, with negative CO2 emissions.

Agribusiness, chemicals, finance, IT, media, mining, etc., are included in the “Others” segment and represent sectors in which Norwegian companies are active in Brazil. The share of investments in these areas has slightly decreased compared to 2016, from 34% to 30%.
